3. “Copyright is basically a tool used by multi-
millionaire companies to steal other peoples
work”
“When something is protected against copying
by the government.”
“Copying some one’s work and take it as your
own bad thing to do“
“Copyright is taking an idea that is not yours and
calling it your own.”
4. “Copyright is something that, it means that you can’t copy
it so say when you are on the internet, you are looking at
pictures, it may say this image is subject to copyright
which mean that you are not allowed to copy it. Often
people that are really picky us copyright a lot although
there are easy tools to go by it.”
“Copyright is when someone steals information someone
else put together. For example, if you were doing a school
project and you found a website that had good
information, if you copied it onto your report that would
be copyright. If you just took notes on what was being said
and then put it together in your own words that would not
be copyright.”
5. “If you use something that, so say I used a song and
posted it on the internet, it could theoretically get
stolen if someone had links to the copyright.”
“I don't think it does.”
“You don’t learn anything”
“Not very much but I was in an entrepreneur fair and
there was risk for copyright there.”
“it affects me because I can get in trouble if I copy
right”
6. “I have no clue why I should”
“I don’t need to until I get to university, then they can kick you out!”
“I should because for example I made a toy called super string and it sold
everywhere really well then someone comes along and puts the toy in
THEIR PACKAGE, making money I rightfully earned.”
“Because it is illegal, other than that, I don't know.”
“I should care because copyright is illegal and you can get arrested or
fined if you are caught doing it and if you do it in university you can get
kicked out.”
“Cause if I made something like a song and somebody got it and made
money off of it.That’s why I care about it.”
7. “I don’t know ”
“What isn’t protected by copyright?”
“walmart,zellers,target,ect.”
“videos, music, books andTV shows.”
“I think if you made it, it should be protected, I’m not sure
if it is though.”
“Movies are protected by copyright. At the beginning of
some movies there is a notice that explains that you will
be arrested if you copyright their movie.”
8. “I don’t know”
“dollar store toys.”
“nothing”
“Well, if I have an idea and don’t tell anyone, can it be
part of copyright?”
“If someone puts it on the internet you can use it I
think.”
“Student's schoolwork. Personal projects.”
9. “Creative Commons is a place where there are un-copyrighted
photos. It means that there are photos that you are allowed to
used for your work and stuff. My challenge teacher told me about
this and we used the Creative Commons website instead of
searching it up on Google search.”
Creative Commons is a way for people to sort of protect
themselves from fake copyright laws” ~
“What?”
“I don’t know, I have never used them”
“I have no idea”
10. “I dont know”
“Example,when I make a toy similar to another
but mine isn’t very sturdy I go to the other guys
to get some help on how.”
“When it is important.”
“Does it count when I get it from the internet?”
“You always need permission.”
